[Shiro's got big shoulders. They can handle a little salt water.
So he just rests the side of his cheek against Lance's head and lets his boy cry. Because there's nothing wrong with tears and the fact Lance lets them out is actually something he thinks is incredibly healthy. He worries about the others that hold theirs in. Better to lance the wound and let it out. There's not rush to try to hurry Lance through and he's had worse that snot on him from the kids so he doesn't mind. It's a good thing. When Lance starts to finish though, Shiro's hand that's been stroking the back of his head stops moving again. Give a light ruffle. Gives him an out and a distraction the way only a dork like Shiro can. With a conversational:]
If I remember right, the Fourth Hokage in Naruto cried too. And he was a total bad ass. Just sayin'.
